    RetroArch for most stuff. The main devs aren’t good people but the tech of it is good, and most of the cores are by other people than the main devs. Dolphin standalone for GC and Wii. PPSSPP standalone for PSP. Both of those don’t run well through retroarch

    Anything I’m not already familiar with in terms of what retroarch core to use, I’ll check https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Main_Page

    That’s the wiki for 4chans ongoing emulation threads.

        If I recall correctly they had involvement with the harassment the drove byuu (another emulator dev) to suicide. There was also some supposed harassment of the Duckstation dev, and potentially some license violation when they forked Duckstation to make the “Swanstation” core. Ah, found the weird obsessed wordpress site, and it looks like most of the shit was around a decade ago, so I guess it’s not really even worth mentioning anymore.

        I intentionally try to stay away from emulator dev drama. It takes a certain type of person to develop these things and they pretty frequently aren’t in a good headspace and aren’t particularly good at interacting with other people.

      Same. I dislike the frontend but its very feature rich and I suppose I don’t hate it enough to change. This covers me for almost every system.
